MIC Injections, Methionine, Inositol, Cholineis, B12

I'm wondering about the success of the MIC Injections for any of you out there?  I just had my 4th weekly injection and am also on a 1200 calorie a day diet.  I have lost 4 lbs at the end of my 3rd week.  What I am noticing is that I am losing inches around my tummy (hips).  These shots are pretty expensive $250 for 5, but I get the weekly visit with my nurse practioner along with a weigh in and support from her & her staff so, I guess that isn't too bad :).  I haven't experienced too much in the way of more energy and hopefully that will come.  I'd love to hear from anyone that was on this program for any length of time and your experience with it.  Thank you.

I have been buying mic injections from the hcg institute online with no issues for the last 8 months. No issues and the prices are reasonable. I even got them to make me a custom blend.

The components of the MIC injection is Methionine, Inositol, and Choline. Some of the shots also come with other B vitamins. All of the main ingredients are amino acids that your body naturally produces from your diet however if you do not eat the proper foods sometimes your body does not make enough of these protein builders. They are beneficial and there are minimal side effects. Generally you can't over do these supplements because your body is very good at secreting any unused portion of the injection, but it is possible. Prolonged use has not shown to be a problem in the studies that I have read and is recommended by most physicians. MIC injections are safe when used as directed by a physician.

Don't fall for these stunts - if you read the disclaimer under B12-MIC shots it is written by the manufacturers for legal purposes that there is no scientific evidence B12 methionine choline and inositol intake can result in weight loss.

Phentermine is like cocaine and can cause addiction , stroke and heart attacks.

500 to 1200 calorie only lean meat and veggie diet is not a balanced  diet and can put your body under stress and lower your immune system - I just saw a lady who was hospitalized with very bad infection after sudden weight loss with the help of a wt loss clinic - I guess her immune system was down.

Some of these clinics are also mixing thyroid hormone to boost metabolism in their supplements which can cause cardiac dysrhythmias.

Most people gain weight back once they stop going to these quack clinics.

The best advice is to increase physical activity by 3-5 times a week walking , static bike or elipitical machine which are all low impact exercises for obese people and eat a balanced diet in small portions with less carbs , less fats , more lean proteins and fiber. Take additional multivitamin and calcium ---> you will notice gradual weight loss over a period of few months not days or weeks - and this weight loss will be healthy and long lasting . My two cents.

Well Judy, The B12 W/MIC have been a life safer for me. Until this past couple of months. I went to order and found out that the FDA and its greedy hands have decided to regulate and I am only to get with a prescription, which has double the costs. I was able to order online for 50.00, this would last me a month. I was able to order injectable vitamins at a cost I could afford. The pill form does not effect me the same. Now since there are at a cost I cant afford now, I am back to feeling lethargic, no energy and lifeless. my hair is thinning again at a rapid rate (after it grew back because of the combination of MIC & B12). its a complete turn around. So if your able to afford the B12 w. MIC do it, it will help utilize fat for energy amongst other benefits. It was a life saver for me when I could afford it. I want to thank the FDA for putting back into my state of illness and lethargic.

For clinics calling B12, B6, and B1 lipotropics, they are being a bit misleading. Lipotropic by definition is a substance that breaks down fat in body. I suppose the B vitamins can do this indirectly by increasing metabolism, but it's really the MIC amino acids that have a direct relationship with fat.

$250 for 5 is high for a package deal. Just B12 MIC injections shouldn't be more than $40 per injection.  If the injection has other components in it for added fat burn, then that would make sense.

I work in a clinic where we offer both. People who do the MIC injections lose inches. Patients notice that fat around their midsection and thighs goes away with weekly injections.  

If you are in the Phoenix area, I highly recommend Prolete Natural Health Center. They use high potency B12 and MIC in their shots.  Injections start at $20 and can be purchased in bundles if you get at least 5 at a time.

Hope this helps!

Are you taking the injections twice weekly?  Do you mix your's with any vitamin, such as B12?  Just curious.  I just took my first MIC only injection today.

We all understand that eating less and moving more makes you drop weight.  These shots and other weight loss aids help us to maintain the low calorie diets without the awful side effects that would normally be associated with only eating 500 calories in a day (Dizziness, headache, etc).  We are aware that this is not a long term good health plan, but trying to exercise when you are very overweight is extremely difficult.  Sometimes you have to drop a significant amount of weight and get to a point you can work on maintaining or start losing more slowly.  If you are judging someone for any method of trying to lose weight than you have NEVER felt the complete DESPERATION of being more than a couple lbs overweight and having to watch every bite you take.  Consider yourself lucky and stop visiting diet forums...you obviously know it all already.

Good for you!!! I was doing research because I have Fibromyalgia plus a world of other injuries and illness. Not only have i lost weight, Ive had amazing pain control. I don't know if its the MICB12 or the HCG proven to have accidentally found to reduce pain in fibro patients.
My meds were really making me gain weight! So thank you again for your post, unless its your own body, don't tell someone else it only takes whatever.
Ive been able to reduce an enormous amount of pain meds and lose weight from both shots and reducing (weight packing) medication.

Meghan, some people canNOT lose by simply eating less.  I have never in my life eaten over 1200 cal per day, I do not drink alcohol, I do not drink caffeine,I DO drink 64 oz minimum water per day,  I do not eat sweets, I do not like breads and empty carbohydrates, I have not had real sugar in anything other than naturally occurring like fruit for over 12 years. I also work out a minimum of 4 days a week, running/power walking, nautilus, kickboxing, and weightlifting.  However, I am battling hypothyroidism, forced menopause, polycystic ovary disease, plain old genetics, and am 1 yr post chemo for breast cancer, and I have not been able to lose weight at all.  So before you judge me, please come walk a mile in my shoes and see if you can fill them.

I was only reviewing this forum because I thought that I must be imagining the effectiveness of these MIC injections. I go to a place called JG Health Clinic in Palm Harbor where they sell them for I think $25, but you can get them in a package for $20, so obviously I do that. They have weekly promotions, so I'm sure you can get them for even less.
They work.

I am getting ready to start them cause Ii have to lose weight for a surgery. But before I started a wonderful program and lost 16 pounds last month with no exercise. Im still going to stay on the program while on the shots to lose the weight but then Im going back to my protein shakes.
